Quality assessment of hydrocarbon PVT data
Abstract
PVT data are essential for proper field development plan, accurate reserve estimation, reservoir simulation, material balance calculation, and optimum fluid recovery plans. High quality and accurate PVT data can, therefore, reduce uncertainty in reservoir fluid properties and set the stage for reservoir engineering modelling whilst improving the technical work on which investment decisions are made. Poor quality data will, however, result in lost time due to rework and additional studies, poor development plans, and inefficient investment.
This paper focuses on the testing of the quality of the PVT data from DH-8X-DST#4 performed in the lab based on Hoff man plot, material balance, and Buckley plot.
